New England · for two

Romantic getaways in New England

New England is built for the two-night romantic escape: country inns with real fireplaces, a coastline of lobster shacks and lighthouses, and an autumn that the rest of the country travels to see. Everything is close enough together that the drive is part of the pleasure rather than the price.

We plan the trip around your starting city and the season — leaf-peeping in the Berkshires and Vermont, the Cape and the Maine coast when the water's warm, Newport when you want a little polish.

Where we'd send you

Good questions

Where is the most romantic place in New England?

The Berkshires and Vermont for country-inn-and-fireplace romance (unbeatable in fall); the Maine coast and Cape Cod for lobster-and-lighthouse summers; Newport for a dose of Gilded-Age glamour. We match the region to your season and starting point.

When is the best time for a New England romantic getaway?

Late September to mid-October for fall color across the Berkshires, Vermont and the White Mountains; June to early September for the coast. Both are peak, so we plan travel and booking early.

What's a good romantic New England trip from New York or Boston?

From Boston, the Berkshires, Cape Cod and coastal Maine are all easy drives. From New York, the Berkshires and Newport are the natural weekends. We show the real door-to-door time from your city.
